What is Labia Minora Reduction Surgery?
As a part of the labiaplasty procedure, labia minora reduction surgery is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at reducing or altering the size and appearance of the labia minora. This procedure is performed for cosmetic and functional purposes. It also aims at alleviating physical discomfort caused by asymmetrical or enlarged labia minora.
Labia surgery is often performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s choice or the surgeon’s recommendation. The surgeon uses a laser and radiofrequency knife to carry out the procedure. There are typically two techniques for performing a labia minora reduction surgery — the trim and wedge techniques.
Patients who underwent this procedure have reported significant improvement in their vaginal appearance, functionality and overall sexual wellness.

Minimally Invasive Techniques for Labia Minora Reduction
The Trim Technique
Also known as edge excision, the trim technique for labia minora reduction involves making a linear cut along the edges of the labia to remove excess tissue.
The trim technique is relatively simple, where the surgeon makes a linear cut using a scalpel, surgical scissors, laser or radiofrequency. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia. Once the excess tissue has been removed, the incision is sutured with dissolvable stitches.
This technique helps improve the labial appearance, reduce physical discomfort and improve sexual function in most women.
The Wedge Technique
This is a new alternative to the trim technique. The wedge technique involves removing a v-shaped wedge of tissue from the labia minora to reduce its size.
This procedure is also performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon makes a horizontal incision across the center of the labia minora to create two flaps of tissue. This is followed by removing the wedge of tissue, after which the two flaps are repositioned and sutured together with dissolvable stitches.
This technique creates a smaller, more symmetrical labial appearance and is less likely to cause scarring.
Why Undergo Labia Minora Reduction Surgery?
Enlarged or asymmetrical labia minora can cause hindrance in many ways, which is why women undergo labia minora reduction surgery. Some of the primary reasons for opting for this procedure include
- Asymmetrical appearance of the vagina
- Painful or uncomfortable sexual intercourse

- Discomfort while wearing certain garments
Reducing the size of the labia minora significantly alleviates these issues. The procedure helps produce symmetrical labia minora that not only enhances the appearance of the vagina but also improves sexual wellness and confidence.
The recovery period after labia minora reduction lasts several weeks, during which patients may experience swelling, discomfort, and limited mobility.
